This is a beginner-friendly maintenance class geared toward bicycles and bicycle-shaped vehicles (handcycles, tricycles, etc.). No previous maintenance experience necessary, although we’ll be diving into a few subjects with some depth so you don’t need to be an absolute beginner either! E-bikes are allowed although we won’t be covering any electronics or e-bike related material.
Here’s a basic breakdown of the subjects we’ll cover:
Suggested tools and supplies for home maintenance
Tire maintenance, including replacing an inner tube, checking for wear, determining the right pressure for your setup
Brake functionality and maintenance, hydraulic vs. cable systems, checking brake pad wear and minor adjustments
Drivetrain components, maintenance, cleaning, and adjustments
Bearing inspections and basic overview
Participants under 16 are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult (two separate ticket purchases). You are encouraged to bring your own bicycle to the class, though you may not be able to fix specific issues during the class.
Where: The Center for Public Secrets, 573 S Peoria Ave, Tulsa, OK 74120
When: Tuesday, May 26, 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
What to bring: Your bike, something to take notes!
